Sanok Castle

The 16th-century Renaissance-style fortress you see today is built over the foundations of a 14th-century Gothic castle that itself replaced the wooden original, destroyed by the Tatars in 1241. On a natural defensive strongpoint overlooking the San River, it's stout and handsome, and only partially spoiled by the obviously new wing built to house the Historical Museum.
